Colin Ruffell Art Prints,

Artist Biography

Colin Ruffell was born in 1939, then he was bombed, evacuated, educated, expelled, repatriated, married, bred, qualified and taught; until in 1965, aged 26, he became a full time professional artist. Since then he is proud and happy to have survived.

He qualified from two Art Colleges in painting, design and printmaking, and the Open University in psychology and aesthetics, plus he has a reasonably clean driving license.

He has been a pioneer of changing techniques for artists. In the early sixties he was one of the first British art-students to use the then revolutinary medium of artists acrylic paint, and he has been a consistent advocate ever since. In the nineties he spotted the potential of giclee printmaking, and the Internet as exhibition space. His enthusiasm led The Fine Art Trade Guild to elect him firstly as a Court Member and then as Chair of the Guild's Printers and Publishers Committee. In 2008 the Guild elected him to become the first artist 'Master of The Guild' where he is involved in setting worldwide standards for the fine art industry.

His pictures are varied. He paints in many styles. Some images are childlike and amusing, others are traditional landscapes, and yet more are complex modernist abstract relationships of colour, texture and shape. He paints in explosive bursts, necessarily punctuated by long spells of getting ready or recovery from the last effort.
